Most of the juicy stuff happened offscreen (meaning the PLOT not the highly inappropriate groping pre-bath post-coma). The reconciliation and hero's redemption seemed a bit too pat given that we are led to believe that the poor bedraggled but proud heroine had been penniless, in mortal danger, and worse I do not take kindly to presumed dead babies, thankyouverymuch thanks to her beloved's lack of trust and snap judgement. Some fun secondary characters, so I will give it three stars, but I really was itching to edit the heck out of this one, starting with the very first sentence, and the last pages made me ill with the embarrassing cutesy love talk epilogue.
